When you've been watching movies as long as I have, you start to think you've seen it all. But then a film comes along featuring a 500 lb American black bear snorting cocaine off a dead man's severed leg and you realise cinema still has the power to shock you in the best way possible. That's just the tip of the outrageous iceberg in Elizabeth Banks' tremendously entertaining and sublimely ridiculous romp Cocaine Bear; a film that knows precisely what it is and gleefully serves up 95 minutes...

Kudos to Marvel Studios for sticking by its heroes. When the MCU began over a decade ago, no one ever really expected the tiny titular hero Ant-Man would be given his own stand-alone film, let alone two of them. With Captain America and Iron Man now fading further in the distance and the first two Ant-Man movies earning a combined total of $1 billion at the worldwide box office, we've arrived at the third outing of nobody's favourite Avenger. While there's a kooky, psychedelic feel to Ant-Man and the Wasp:...

Another year of cinema comes to a close. It was the year that life started to seem relatively normal again. No lockdowns, cinema closures, or release date delays. Film festivals were held in-person for the first time in two years. Blockbusters started making hundreds of millions of dollars again. Three of them cracked a billion bucks. Inexplicably one of them was Jurassic World: Dominion; a film I haven't heard a soul mention since it was released in June. Until I looked back on the yearly box office numbers,...

After delivering three films in a row that all garnered endless praise and awards season success, it's clear director Damien Chazelle has reached the point in his career where he's being given carte blanche to make whatever the hell he wants. And rightly so. But that freedom proves to be both a blessing and a curse with his latest film Babylon; an overstuffed, 3-hour-plus epic that's equally dazzling, dizzying, disgusting, and discombobulating. Whether Chazelle falls under the weight of his own excess and ambition will be up for you...

At this point in his career, it's rather pointless to criticise Jason Statham for essentially playing the same hardboiled, gruff role in every single one of his films. He's an action star following the same path as actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. He knows his brand and what he brings to the table. He plays it well and his fans eat it up. Statham delivers another serving of his dry charm in Guy Ritchie's Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre; a suave, stylish old-school action...

For some unfathomable reason, James Cameron is a filmmaker who many have seemingly underestimated for practically his entire career. No one thought he could match the thrilling fun of The Terminator, and yet Terminator 2: Judgment Day proved to be one of the greatest sequels ever made. Titanic was destined by the media to be a spectacular box office flop, and yet it went on to earn more than $1.8 billion and win 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture. And then there was 2009's Avatar; another film preordained to presumably...

If you're like me, you may be thinking the world does not need another cinematic version of Roald Dahl's beloved 1988 novel Matilda. Danny DeVito's 1996 film adaptation is an absolute gem and remains a cherished favourite amongst my fellow millennials. We've been down the path of Dahl remakes before. It never ends well (I'm looking at you, The Witches). Thankfully, Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical breaks the trend of disappointing Dahl adaptations to deliver a rollicking good time at the cinema with lashings of heart and humour plus a little...

Admit it. You thought the Shrek franchise was dead and buried. After the original film compltely changed the animation game in 2001 and Shrek 2 proved to be the rare sequel that lived up to its predecessor, the series limped to a disappointing third film in 2007 and a tepid conclusion in 2010 barely anyone remembers. The Puss in Boots spin-off in 2011 fared better with critics and audiences and even earned an Oscar nod for Best Animated Feature. Since then, however, this once mighty fairy tale universe has...
